Good day, denizens of OC.net! Per our tradition, the forum will shut down for Clean Monday, beginning around 9pm Sunday evening (2/18) and ending around 9pm Monday evening (2/19). In the spirit of the coming Forgiveness Sunday, I ask you to forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. At the end of Great and Holy Week, the Forum will also shut down for Holy Friday and Holy Saturday (times TBA).

We were just talking about that at lunch. It doesn't even mean "eighty-five." It means "eight five."

Why should this poor attempt at Spanish not be surprising, coming from a Bengal?

Last Friday, as I was dropping off my middle two kids to their school, one of the local stations was announcing that they are starting an Injury Fantasy Football League for this year.

I called in, and managed to get a team known for their poor conditioning and injury-plagued seasons: the Cincinnati Bengals!

And, the Classic Rock station that is holding this contest is amused that one of the contestants is the city's Greek Orthodox priest.

Let's hope that the Bengals have a series of spiritually profitable player injuries that do not result in anyone terribly hurt, and that I can overcome this huge lead that the person picking the Patriots has probably amassed, now that Brady is injured.

Joe Flacco - MVP - maybe I spoke too soon, let's see how he does against the Steelers. Put it another way, Flacco has 1 win while Troy Aikman went 1-15 in his first full Pro Season; I don't see the Ravens losing 15 in a row even though I predicted a 1-15 season....

The great thing is that I have read some fans referring to Chad Ocho Cinco as "Chad Uno Catcho"

Of course, I can still remember the college game (Oregon State University) when Chad was going to score so easily that he started hotdogging 5 yards short of the goal line and ended up dropping the ball for a turnover. Man was his coach p***ed!

The forum admins dissociated OC.net from that chat site, so I imagine we disabled all the links to it.

The admins didn't like the chat they set up themselves, on their own site? That's strange of them. Or perhaps you are thinking of a different chat room. Even though the oc.net "official" chat room was not too much different than the "unofficial" one, so it's an easy mistake to make.
